Real Support for Your People, When They Need It Most

Work is better when people feel supported. The Personnel Group’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) gives employees and their families access to confidential, professional counselling and mental health support at no cost to them. We’re here to help your people work through life’s challenges so they can feel supported at work, at home, and in everyday life.

What Is Employee Assistance Program?

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a confidential, employer-funded service that gives employees and their immediate family members access to professional counselling and psychological support, completely free for the individual.

EAP is designed to provide early, short-term support for personal, emotional, and workplace challenges before they begin affecting day-to-day life. Supporting your people isn’t just good for wellbeing, it can also lead to stronger engagement, improved productivity, and better staff retention.

At The Personnel Group, our EAP services are delivered by registered psychologists and qualified allied health professionals who combine clinical expertise with genuine care and understanding.

Frequently Asked Questions

An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a confidential, employer-funded service that gives employees and their immediate family members access to professional counselling and psychological support at no cost to them. It provides early, short-term support for personal, emotional, and workplace challenges before they begin having a greater impact on everyday life.

Yes, absolutely. Everything discussed during your EAP sessions is kept confidential. Your employer will not be told that you accessed the service, and no personal information is shared. The only exceptions are situations involving serious safety concerns, which are standard legal and ethical responsibilities for all health professionals.

EAP is available to employees and immediate family members of organisations that have an active EAP agreement with The Personnel Group. If you’re unsure if your workplace offers EAP, contact us, and we can help check for you.

It’s simple. You can contact us directly by phone or online without needing a GP referral, and your employer does not need to be notified. We’ll connect you with the right clinician and help you get started as soon as possible.

EAP sessions are free for eligible employees and their immediate family members. The service is funded by the employer as part of their commitment to employee wellbeing.
